    Playground flooring?

    We've been using pea gravel for the last couple years around our play structure and it has been great. My 3 year old even fell out of our enclosed trampoline -- big sister left the door open for less than a minute -- and it cushioned her fall. It's probably 4-6 inches deep. Even with plastic...

    I got f'd...what do I do?

    I've been buying from Dealer Auctions for over 6 years -- sorry, but the Auction isn't going to buy the car back. With most Auctions 1/2 the time their condition reports are not accurate -- especially when it comes to prior paint work. They're only as good as the inspector. Good luck with the...

    Winter Beater

    No, just the V8 -- the V12's are still going for a pretty penny. Their both incredible cars and I'd love to have a V12. I just picked up another '04 V8 this week, yet this one is silver with 21k miles vs. my black one with 36k. The silver one will be on the market soon.

    Anybody have the Sharp LCD 52" 64U?

    I had one about 6 months ago for a day, yet it was two inches too tall for my cabinet lift (fit perfect in width though) therefore I had to downsize to the 46". :frown: The 46" looks tiny compared to the 52". The Sharps have a great picture quality -- deep blacks -- and although I'm on my 2nd...

    BMW X5 reviews/opinions looking to buy one

    Ranger Rover have the same reliability issues at the Touareg -- definitley buy an extended warranty with either of those vehicles. I've had both a V8 Touareg and an '03 Ranger Rover (1st year of newer style).

    2001 - 2003 Audi S8

    Mine is black/black with black wheels & chrome lip and dark tint. I picked it up in March from Volkswagen Credit via dealer auction. (side hobby) My intentions were to flip it, yet I've enjoied it so much that I've been using it as my daily driver ever since. What a wonderful car --...

    2001 - 2003 Audi S8

    You mention that you like the "understated look of this car, as well as its rarity" -- with that being said have you seen or driven a Phaeton? If not, you definitely should. I absolutely love my '04 Phaeton V8 and I believe they're similar in the price on the used market. This is another...

    seeking advice from BUSINESS GURUs!!!

    Re: seeking advice from BUSINESS GURUs~!!! Incorporating can be very easy in some cases -- simply filing out a form and writing a small check. I've had a home based S-Corp for over four years -- just a side hobby to my full-time career. Yes, there is some basic paperwork that needs to be...

    James Kim Found Dead

    This was a terrible tragedy. The events have been all over the news in my home state since the beginning. I keep reading people state that he should have stayed with the car, yet put yourself in his shoes. If I was stuck in the same environment with my wife and two daughters, after 7 days I...

    How much $$ to start car dealership?

    Many of these dealers make a bulk of their profits off the sale of financing and extended warranties. The average consumer only cares about what their monthly payment is -- unfortunate yet true. Also, it's very common for a dealer to sell an extended warranty for $2500-$3000 where they only...

    My NSX alongside my new Lambo

    Ah, it looks like you picked up that gorgeous '04 at Gran Prix Imports. That thing is sweet! I drive by that place every day -- they continue to rotate through some very nice rides. Hopefully Matt gave you a deal!
